Ceramic wasteform and process development for plutonium disposition

如果在轻水反应堆中不能实现再利用，则需要固定联合王国的钚库存。在这个博士学位中，我们将与国家核实验室合作，对候选陶瓷废物成分和热等静压作为制造路线的发展有一个基本的了解。该项目将涉及在NNL中心实验室进行钚验证研究，这将与当时正在进行的更广泛的NDA赞助研究保持一致。

Immobilisation of the UK plutonium inventory many be required in the event that reuse in light water reactors is not realised. In this PhD we will develop a fundamental understanding of candidate ceramic wasteform compositions and the development of hot isostatic pressing as a manufacturing route, in collaboration with the National Nuclear Laboratory. The project will involve a placement in NNL central laboratory to undertake plutonium validation studies, which will be aligned with wider NDA sponsored research ongoing at that time.
